Troubleshooting Cart2Cart Connection Bridge: Configuring PHP Settings for Data Migration

Sometimes, after installing the Connection Bridge, you might see plain text instead of the “BRIDGE_INSTALLED” message. If this happens and you can't proceed with the Migration Wizard, you'll need to adjust your server's PHP settings. This is a common issue during data migration.

Unfortunately, there aren't universal PHP settings specifically for the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge. The required settings depend on the specific e-commerce platform you are using. To find the correct configuration, visit your shopping cart platform's official website (e.g., Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, BigCommerce, Shopify). Search for their official guides on “PHP settings” or “PHP configuration”. Follow these guides to configure your PHP environment correctly for your specific platform. This ensures that your store and the Connection Bridge function properly, allowing for a smooth data migration process.

Here are some general steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Check your PHP version: Ensure your PHP version meets the requirements of both your current e-commerce platform and the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge.
  2. Enable necessary PHP extensions: Make sure required extensions like `curl`, `openssl`, `mbstring`, `zip`, and `gd` are enabled in your `php.ini` file.
  3. Verify file permissions: Ensure the web server has the necessary permissions to read and write to the Connection Bridge directory.
  4. Check your error logs: Review your PHP error logs for any specific errors related to the Connection Bridge. This can provide valuable clues about the cause of the problem.
